Hyderabad – Holiday Tour Packages

Hyderabad's history can be traced to the 16th century when Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah established the city. The Qutb Shahi dynasty remained in power for close to century before the Mughals came and conquered the area.

Soon, a Mughal viceroy by the name of Asif Jah I declared sovereignty and established his own dynasty: the Nizams of Hyderabad.

Evidence of all these can be seen in Hyderabad today and have even made its way into its cuisine. And you can see these remembrances of the past and more with Hyderabad holiday packages.

What to Do in Hyderabad

Hyderabad is a combination of the old and the new. The Old City is where you get a look at the city from years ago. It's an area with chai shops and spice merchants, making a stroll in this place quite a colorful one. Not to be missed are the huge and impressive Islamic architecture.

The new part of the city is filled with clubs, malls, multiplexes, and restaurants. It's where you can chill out and grab a meal after taking in lots of years of history after a stroll in the old quarter.

See the Old City.

Much of what you'll see in the southern part of the Musi River are historic sites, such as the Charminar and the Mecca Masjid. Tourist attractions such as the Salar Jung Museum and Nizam's Museum are also located here.

Spend time in the “New City”.

This is the urbanized area of Hyderabad and it's connected to the Old City by several bridges, including Purana Pul (the oldest). Must-sees in this part of town are Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills.

You'll also find some attractions in the area called “Cyberabad” (home to many IT companies) including the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park.

Whether you fancy a trip to the Old City, the New City, or both, you'll find holiday packages to your liking here at La Vacanza.
